Here's a few more pics of the finished laser etched giant sawblade adorning our new office...

Here's a nice full page illo we just created for ESPN Magazine.

We just unveiled a major project launch for Camel Artists, which is detailed on our website in a case study, and in several stunning individual designs. Do explore more on our site, but here's a sneak peak:

Here's a little editorial piece we just designed for Fortune magazine.

Just stumbled across this beautiful stop-motion animation from Spike Jonze, in which designer Olympia Le-Tan's accessories spring to life in a tragic-comic love story. Beautiful.

Spike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi on Nowness.com.

There is a short Q&A with Jonze about the project here: http://www.nowness.com/day/2011/10/17?ecid=emfb1001

If you can find the time to read this piece, and I really ecommend that you try, this appraisal of the collaborative relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Saul Bass is a gem:

"Drawing upon a wide range of sources, including interviews with designer and filmmaker Saul Bass (1920–96) and film director Billy Wilder (1906–2002), this article reassesses the evidence, scholarship, and debates about the contributions made by Bass to three films directed by Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980). Between 1958 and 1960 Bass created main title sequences for Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960) and an advertising campaign for Vertigo, and he also acted as a “pictorial consultant” for Psycho (a role that included the design and storyboarding of the now-famous shower scene). The article, which seeks to reopen and redirect certain debates, constitutes a major evaluation of one of the most visually productive collaborations in the history of U.S. cinema."

Necessity. Innovation. Simplicity...and a beautiful result.

We're excited to announce the latest addition to the Vault49 team, Karan Singh. An antipodean mega-talent in his own right, he adds another notch of mega talent to our crew, and we know you'll all be seeing lots of work with Karan's paw prints all over it.

A few delectable snippets from his burgeoning portfolio are shown below...

We had the pleasure of working for the Boston Magazine again recently for their 'Fall Getaways' issue, and this is our lovely set design proposal.

We finally got some of our Hydro74 prints framed for the office... here's our favourite. A $20 frame from a brick-a-brack shop + a gorgeous serigraph = priceless.
